I’m passionate about my theatre, and I love what I do. But not today. We had photo call for the show that I’m directing. The one that is opening in three weeks time. It was chaotic. The cast wanted to chatter and have fun. I wanted to get done and on with the rehearsal.
Enter Hitler stage left. Cue for cast and crew to roll eyes heavenwards and exude deep, meaningful sighs.
So tonight, I hate what I do.
But tomorrow I will put on a brave face, tell everyone that they’re marvellous, and fall in love all over again.
I also work in theatre and I know there are days when it seems like everyone has figured out how to annoy you.
Everyone is their own star in the theatre, but in the end they normally appreciate the people who stayed focused and helped them improve the quality of the production.
Don’t let it discourage you.
Thanks Alex, you’re quite right of course. Some days it’s hard to stand back and see the big picture.
Thanks for the encouragment and the visit.
